Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2019)

Hello, guys. This is Sam Whitacre and this is my first review on IMDb. And I'm gonna take a look at The Island. It was directed by Michael Bay (Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor and Transformers). And I know what you're thinking, "What's this? The new generation of the movie from Michael Bay?" I think it could be an explanation as I should review this. All right. Let's get this review started. Ready? Let's get to it.
The film starts with Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor, Star Wars prequel trilogy) who wakes up from his nightmares at Merrick Industries as he misses a left shoe. When he lets someone get a chance, he would have another color. When the lottery starts, the Island winner goes to Starkweather Two Delta (Michael Clarke Duncan, The Green Mile) as Gandu Three Echo (Brian Stepanek) disturbs the elevator. When Lincoln lines up, he tries to have bacon for his breakfast, but the clerk doesn't want to. Instead, she surprises Lincoln with an oatmeal.
As for Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson, Marvel Cinematic Universe), she orders five pieces of bacon and gives them to Lincoln. Afterwards, he runs to visit Dr. Bernard Merrick (Sean Bean, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as he gives Lincoln the brain scan from the microsensors in his eye. Meanwhile, he works with his friend Jones Three Echo (Ethan Phillips) at the department. Suddenly, Lima One Alpha (Siobhan Flynn) breaks her water while pregnant when her baby is about to come out. The workers take her to the hospital. After the work, he goes to visit James "Mac" McCord (Steve Buscemi, Monsters, Inc.) where they have a conversation. After this, he sees a moth and he puts it in the matchbook.
When he works, he sees the doctors prepare to make Three Helo healthy. Afterwards, Lincoln takes the moth to his room and puts it in the glass. Lincoln and Jordan play a fighting video game on Xbox as she wins. When Lincoln wakes up, he accidentally finds the shocking lie about going to the Island. The Censors kill Lima and cut Starkweather open to seal his liver after he runs from the operating theater. Lincoln goes to Jordan as he takes her to the outside world after he becomes contaminated.
Back in Merrick Industries, Albert Laurent (Djimon Hounsou, Gladiator) makes an agreement with Merrick after he makes a speech about the agnate with his former friend Dr. Whitman (Max Baker). Back at the outside world, Lincoln and Jordan find Mac at the Aces & Spades bar in Arizona.
In the bathroom, he tries to tell Mac about the lie, but is interrupted by Ed the Trucker (Eric Stonestreet, Identity Thief) He takes them to his home with Suzie (Shawnee Smith, Saw franchise). Instead of asking for his permission, they ask Mac for his help. Mac takes Lincoln and Jordan to the station in Yucca after Lincoln urinates micro-sensors in the urinal. When Mac sees a mercenary, he calls them out to run to the train before a mercenary kills him.
They run to the train which stops to New York City. They find the MSN booth as they search for their sponsors Tom Lincoln and Sarah Jordan. When Jordan searches for Sarah Jordan, her son calls and sees agnates, finding out to be his mother. When the police arrive, they arrest them as he tells them to search for Tom Lincoln in California.
When they stop, a truck kills the police car. Jordan and Lincoln hop out of the car as Laurent's members try to shoot the officers down. They run to the truck with train wheels. Lincoln unchains them, killing his members. When Laurent stops, he calls out a flying vehicle known as Black Wasp to take out the truck. When the truck is shot down, Lincoln takes out the pilot and rides on it with Jordan to fly into the building.
They land on the logo as the members shoot the logo as it falls down. Lincoln and Jordan are saved. Back in Merrick Industries, Gandu tells Merrick about the flying bug. He injects him by poisoning his neck with the needle. Merrick forces them to bring him a list of all the Echos in active population.
In the morning, they arrive to Tom's house in California. When they enter, Lincoln gets whacked by his sponsor with a golf club. He tells his sponsor what he seems in his house. When Tom calls Merrick Industries from his phone, he says the F-bomb. When Tom and Lincoln drive to the news studio, Tom attempts to kill his sponsor, but they fight each other in a Cadillac Cier.
When they arrive in Michigan Central Station, Lincoln tricks Laurent into shooting Tom. When he returns home, Jordan realizes him as they have sex. Meanwhile in Merrick Industries, Merrick tells Whitman to dispose over $200 million worth of product by poisoning them or a recall.
The next day, when they escape, Lincoln sees the holographic power grid. He can shut it down so they would see the truth. Back in Merrick Industries, the harvesters poison the clones.
Meanwhile, Lincoln dresses up like Tom while Jordan gives children ice cream from Ben & Jerry's until she gets arrested by Laurent. Lincoln comes back to Merrick Industries as he walks with Whitman. Lincoln knocks Whitman down with the gun as he walks to the holographic room. Meanwhile, Jordan is about to be hacked until she shoots a censor in the leg as she takes the Tri-Key and his walkie-talkie. When Lincoln comes out of the room, Jordan tells Lincoln to shut the hologram down after the mass winnings.
As for Jones Three Echo, the censor takes the clones to the Island. When Jordan arrives, she sees the clones heading to the island. Laurent arrives as he attempts to kill Jordan, he prefers to help her out.
When Lincoln arrives at the hologram room, he tries to shoot the glass door. Instead, he shuts it down. Meanwhile, Jordan and Laurent force the censors to open the door. When a censor opens the door, he sets the clones free.
Merrick shoots Lincoln with a grappling hook. Lincoln fights Merrick as the hologram room explodes then Lincoln shoots Merrick in the neck. Merrick and Lincoln swing as the clones run free then Merrick dies. When the clones run outside, they see the blue sky. Lincoln and Jordan kiss as they watch Laurent leave with a smile.
At the end of the movie, Lincoln and Jordan sail to the Island from the boat named "Renovatio" which translates to "Rebirth" in Latin.
So, what did you think of my review? Does it have spoilers? I think it has. It also has product placements in the movie. And it uses elements from "Logan's Run", "The Matrix", "THX 1138", "The Thirteenth Floor", and "Gattaca".
I think "The Island" is actually the hottest action movie of 2005. So, I hope you enjoy my review and let me know if it's helpful. Thanks for reading.
